Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cisco-Linksys EZXS55W EtherFast 10/100 5-Port Workgroup Switch
Customer Review: RV Network
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this switch for the various devices in my RV. It's small, uses little power, and does what it's supposed to do transparently. It also stacks (using optional stacking bracket) with my linksys wireless bridge and router and cell phone router. With this setup, I can get wireless at campgrounds when available, and easily switch to the cell phone network when it's not.
Dish Network works seamlessly with this system, so I can order PPV without a phone line. My son's Xbox360 can reach Xbox live. This switch is the "heart" of my RV Network.
Customer Review: It's as easy as plug and play
Summary: 5 Stars
We currently have the Linksys BEFSR41 4-port router/switch for our home network. It's been working great for about 4 years now, but we've now run out of ports. I did some research on the 8 port router/switch product from Linksys, but the reviews were mixed. The reviews were mixed for similar competing products also. So I took the route of getting the EZXS55W to expand our existing home network. I just plugged it into the network and it just worked out of the box. No configuration needed. It's also very tiny. I highly recommend the product.Customer Review: Perfect little unit
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been using a Linksys router for a few years before buying this switch. Then I changed to a new DSL provider (Frontiernet) whose modem is also a router, so I picked up this switch to split my connection to various computers in my home (having two routers on Frontiernet caused problems with TCP port forwarding). First, I was surprised by the compact size of the switch. I hooked it up and it was good to go - a slick connection and no messing around. It is a perfect companion to the Speedstream 5200 DSL modem, and probably many others.Customer Review: Great switch, never had a problem
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great network switch. I own a laptop and a desktop computer, but I only have one network jack in my room. This lets me use both at once. It can transfer data at 100 Mb/s, even with four computers on it; unlike hubs, the bandwith is not shared, so all computers work at 100 Mb/s. It works in full duplex mode, so there is no lag when transfering and recieving data at the same time. I have had it running for months now and have not had one error or connection failure. This is a great buy for anyone with more than one computer on a LAN.Customer Review: Connected multiple computers to my cable modem perfectly!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was confused about the difference between Hubs, Switches, and routers. I just wanted to take the Ethernet connection from my cable modem and split it to three other computers so that I could have a faster, direct connection since I have somewhat spotty wireless connection due to interference with neighbors routers. This switch did just the charm and was surprisingly inexpensive.
So, if you have a modem with an Ethernet out and want to connect multiple computers to the internet, this device will work for you.
